On Screen Keyboard missing

by MasterLH1

Hey guys, my on screen keyboard is gone on my mi box 3! I havent changed any settings whatsoever!

Everytime I try to open the keyboard (for example when searching apps on play store) it shows me a bar with a big mic button where I can use voice to search...

I already tried disabling and deleting gboard updates that fixed the problem 🙈

Do you face this issue too? I have read that there will be a new on screen keyboard for android tv soon is that true?

I had the same issue. Just change your language to English then you will be able to enable Gboard. Once done change the language back to your original one.

Yeah, i had the same problem on my mibox s; something in a recent update to gboard apparently broke the functionality on Android TV (or at least MiBox's).

I had the same issue with my Sony Bravia the other day. I didn't have time to check, but there was only a big mic button and no keyboard.

Same here

Yes. Same here. Uninstalling Gboard updates seems to fix the issue for now.

Yep it's with the new update. Uninstalling it fixed it for me

use this instead of Gboard

using one of the review as an explanation:

"Long story short, when you try to use a third party TV remote control that uses a USB dongle, the TV thinks that you have plugged in a keyboard, thus it deactivates the GBoard on screen keyboard (this happened after the Oreo update)"
